Hello again.

Following the method I described (using Cyberlink PowerDirector to create wav files) that’s working fine being very fast doing so, I keep on thinking that

if the problem with Premiere Pro is that it doesn’t support AC3 audio codec anymore due to high licensing fees how come that a cheap software as Cyberlink PowerDirector is able to do VERY fast what the Media Encoder takes AGES to do, if it doesn’t stop after hours and a message pops up saying it failed.

Hello again.

I tried to convert a rather large MTS file (3,99 Gb) in the Media Converter. That took a long time before the converter announced that it failed. As I chose to save the converted files in the same folder as the original file, I discovered a -even larger- MOV file (23,5 Gb) that has even bigger audio problems (many dropouts) and lasts only 4 minutes and 5 seconds…

So now just found another way to solve this problem; in Cyberlink Power Director (software I used before switching to Premiere Pro a few years ago) I uploaded the same MTS file, then saved only the sound as a WAV file. That went very quickly. Then imported the same MTS file into Premiere Pro, and the just produced WAV file as well. Unlinked le video and audio track of the MTS file, deleted the audio track. Then copied the WAV file under the MTS video track, and that works perfectly.

When importing a MTS video file into Adobe Premiere Pro 2024, the video track and audio track are not synchronized. I can see that the audio track is empty before the end (See attached jpg). When unlinking the video and audio tracks, cutting the audio track from the time there’s no more audio, deleting the empty part, and adjusting the speed/duration of the audio track to the duration of the video track, the problem seems to be solved. But if I have to do that for every imported MTS file in a project, that’s really boring, takes a lot of time. Is there not a way to fix this problem in preferences, or wherever in Premiere Pro?

This problem does not occur when importing MOV files, shot with my more recent camera. But I still have a lot of MTS video files I want to use for my new projects.

Can you please help?

Thanks in advance, Rob
